Creating Inclusive Camp: Unpacking the tools and strategies for summer

The Inclusive Camps Tool is designed to help you and your camp identify the work you already do to make your camp an inclusive space. It does this by supporting you in identifying where you are on a five-stage scale of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) advancement from “Not yet started” to “Launched” to “Leading.” From this scale, camps will have a good idea of what they can do to advance their DEI work. You will have the opportunity to examine how the stages of advancement look in what we have designated as four areas of influence. By the end, we hope that camps can identify potential for implementing DEI work at any level.

By utilizing the ACA’s “Creating Inclusive Camps” tool, individuals who participate in this webinar will be able to discuss building relationships with individuals and communities as a collective. By focusing on history, policy & practices, and systems thinking, the group will be able to discuss how our day-to-day actions create impact and the value of creating gradual change that will improve outcomes and develop strong relationships.
